A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

Got to say been a good month so far... I think the other day I finally have got the knack of the Wing Tip Take Off.... I did a bunch the other day..no film..( didn't happen rule # 182b-c...) I realized a Wing Tip Take Off is a half axel on the ground. Dah !!!

Have to practice some more. Wind is 4 mph at the beach... It's 5 PM Saturday cooking dinner for my wife and Mother in law. Then I am Gone... Great Day today...

As I'm with him right now, we both started laughing when we read that title. When you're on the wingtip, you're popping the bottom wing instead of the top! Try that, see where it gets you. You can pull the bottom wing, for a reverse coin toss(ollie), but the kite needs to be at a different angle on the wingtip, etc. Thats all much later, after the first coin toss is learned.

Sorry Ron it was a joke with Devin... I kinda need a a practice routine. I spend a lot of time practicing..

Ok - inside joke.

I'd say if you're looking for some general advice, and if you are ever thinking of flying any kind of real routine for demos, competition, or whatever, then stop making your flying so random. Think about going from point A, to B, to C, etc., and make whatever tricks you do along the way part of that flow. For example - you want to do a cointoss? Cointoss from one wing to the other, then fly a nice crisp diamond, and land again with a tip stab on the same wingtip. 2 tricks you can practice and the whole thing looks great. Lots of other tricks you can practice in a cohesive series if you think a bit about how they are entered and exited, and when you do it that way the whole thing looks a lot better.
